Class SetOptions (3.21.0)

public final class SetOptions

An options object that configures the behavior of set() calls. By providing one of the SetOptions objects returned by #merge, #mergeFields and #mergeFieldPaths, the set() calls in DocumentReference, WriteBatch and Transaction can be configured to perform granular merges instead of overwriting the target documents in their entirety.
